Overview
This bill allows aspiring architects in California to apply for and use the title ‘architect-in-training’ after passing at least one division of the state’s architectural exam and being supervised by a licensed architect. It establishes requirements for supervision, prohibits independent practice, and outlines consequences for misuse of the title, including potential disciplinary action. The bill also creates a continuously appropriated fund to support the Board’s activities related to this program and sets a timeline for its operation and eventual repeal.
